Mom, Mommy, Ma, Mom

A special Mother's Day Poem

Mom, Mommy, Ma, Mom
Seeming all simple when she cradle you in her arms
Loving and sweet
Then it came the times when you became a teen
You thought she never understood
She really didn’t know all you where going through
Wishing she would stop preaching and teaching you about life
In your mind you thought you knew it all
Only to figure out that ninety percent of what she said was right
Wishing with all your might you listened
Laying in her arms as an adult listening to her voice
When all seems wrong
The nights she prays for you
The nights she lay with you while you where ill
The days she defended you
The days she cradle you to her bosom
Mom, Mommy. Ma,Mom
Calling her name a million times
Listening to you first speak
Listening to you when no one else would
Reading you your first story
Teaching you right from wrong
Singing in your ear
Mom, Mommy, Ma, Mom
Working to do her best even with less
Sometimes taking and dealing with mess
Mom, Mommy, Ma, Mom
Loving you in your wrongs just as much as your rights
Mom, Mommy, Ma, Mom
Sweet name given to you when you had your first
Nothing was sweeter than hearing him or her acknowledge you
Mom, Mommy, Ma, Mom
The first macaroni card
The first burnt breakfast
The sweet kisses and hugs
Coming from your babies
The honor, the privilege with the name
Mom, Mommy, Ma. Mom
